Description
Crowned Heads Cigars has become known for its annual release of the Las Calaveras. For the second time, the 2025 iteration uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper (the first being the 2018 release). The rest of the blend is Nicaraguan, and like all the other Las Calaveras releases, it is produced by My Father Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua.
“What’s unique about this year’s Las Calaveras release is that not only are we utilizing a San Andres cover leaf, but it’s a color grade that most people would not immediately associate with San Andres (Mexico) wrapper,” said Jon Huber, co-founder of Crowned Heads, in a press release when the cigar was announced in June. “We selected a mid-priming wrapper, which resulted in a lighter Colorado color to the cigar as opposed to the more commonly seen darker maduro shades of Mexican San Andres wrappers used. This particular wrapper really complements the blend and allows for the coffee, espresso, and toffee notes to come to the surface that can typically get lost under the pepper and earth profile that the darker, higher priming wrappers yield.” Size: 5 x 52. Note: these are now shipping in plain packaging.
